They didn't make the music epic or anything. Just normal imo so I don't think he was that "glorified" besides I think almost everyone knew Dento'd win anyways due to the leaked scan

“...This is a tricky problem, huh. I really, really want to see the other Heroes... and if it works out, I want to make friends with them! If I made friends with six Heroes, I’d be an awesome mage! We could even conquer the world!”

Now this was a good episode, BW is really delivering with its Pokemon Battles! There is one almost every few weeks or so, and not just one hit battles with TR like it used to be. Plus this battle had a great combination of both Pokemon and moves, ok Hyperbeam was spammed TWICE, but we also got Recover, Twin Needle, Rock Blast and Rock Slide! All great and typically rare moves (well previously rare).
Crustle and Boldore made a great team with their Rock type moves and bulk and I am happy Boldore did not just loss because someone had to, it actually lost for a reason, and a dam good one!

Alright, some may argue that Bianca did not seem to care much for her Shelmet/Accelgor, but atleast its under good care, and we may still see it as a Krabby style assistant! Plus now Bianca has an awesome Escavalier which actually seems to suit her! So its all good.

I think it suits her as it can become a valiant and loyal Knight who looks out for a protects Bianca (mainly from herself). Just seems a better fit than Accelgor, who can now be Junipers ninja assistant. Helpful, yet powerful.

Nah, I think it's quite appropriate for a Pokémon who never lost a battle since its capture episode.

Suits her much better than Accelgor, I'm sick of seeing that Pokémon. Escavalier seems like a powerful Pokémon, something Bianca needs.

Lol.

He will one day, he will one day.

How? They both "Suit" her equally to me, but since she had Shelmet before this happened, I think she should have traded back.

Why the Lol?

Again, your opinion. You're allowed to have your opinion, everyone is allowed that. But I'm just saying that to some, Accelgor might seem like a better fit. I don't think that either would be a better fit over the other. I at least hope Juniper doesn't release Accelgor, then I'll hate her even more for not helping to convince Bianca to trade back, since it was her Pokemon.

I've said this time and time again, she said she would trade Pignite for Zorua, but like some people do, she could have just said that to make the deal happen, before thinking about the repercussions.

But now, she actually left her previous Pokemon with Juniper. Now, it proves she doesn't care.

I hope Escavalier turns around one day and whacks her with the sides of his jousting things.

What I really liked about this episode, was the cliffhanger ending. I was shocked to see Cedric like that. We knew he would appear, but to make and appearances like that had me completely shocked.

But now, she actually left her previous Pokemon with Juniper. Now, it proves she doesn't care.

Well that's your opinion.

Paul was the one who didn't care about his Pokémon.

She didn't trade her Pokémon away to a random stranger like most of the trainers do, she left it somewhere where it could be useful. She left it at prof. Juniper who she can, by the way, contact any time and ask about her Accelgor. Besides, learning how to wield over Escavalier will be much more useful for her development. So yeah, that's your opinion, not a fact. :/

Wish Bianca kept both, oh well. At less she gave her Shelmet to someone who she knows will look after it, she can always see it whenever she likes.

I'm confused why Axew scared Shelmet for, seemed random, maybe it was attacked by Shelmet in the past(Although it never did anything when Bianca first showed Shelmet...Axew is clearly losing it's mind).

I actually agree about Bianca not caring about her pokemon. She doesn't care about Pignite and offers to trade him and now she trades Accelgor and doesn't even show that she misses it. She's kind of like the game trainer, only cares to win, not about the pokemon with the difference that she never wins.

So Bianca's keeping Escavalier as opposed to Accelgor. Doesn't give me a crap ton of confidence that Boldore will become Gigalith.

i know this isn't the best place to discuss this, but maybe if Ash and Trip do trade, they could have Bianca on hand to witness it (the bond factor I mean.) , and have her realise that trading pokemon isn't as simple as one might think, maybe even make her miss her Shelmet/Accelgor and ask for it back and trade back with Juniper.

Just some food for thought.

Crustle is becoming the most deadly pokemon on the team's roster, and it's pretty deadly in battle with shell smash.

It isn't about the music though, it's about what happens and the fact that he defeated both trainers with a Crustle that has never been defeated is glorification.

Yeah but I mean if it had heroic epic music it'd seem more "glorified", Dento wasn't even congratulated for his awesome win. So it's Crustle that's being glorified, not Dento. My logic was that they did this because Crustle only got a few seconds of screentime in last episode (even though he "defeated" TRio) it wasn't much. Compared to Boldore who had a Gym Battle so that feels automatically a bit more..."eye catching" than battling Team Rocket.

I don't remember her taking it back, Luke refused that is why we didn't get it mentioned again.

I'll have to check the episode again but I really don't remember that.

I would have liked that she atleast said goodbye to Accelgor and showed some affection, she really seemed to care for it in the gym figth, she was feeding it after the figth and all(again if I remember well).

But Politoed evolved with the help of an item so ignoring the whole trade thing was easy.

They could just do a straight trade and trade back thing like we do in real life with our games but I don't see it happening for some reason :S.
